Flame On!
The Burger King's bringing back something in time for Valentine's Day: a broiled meat-scented cologne called Flame.
Apparently they offered it for a brief time back in December, when it reportedly sold out within a three-day span. At $4 it's likely something that will sell out again even if simply as a gag (no pun intended) gift.

Burger King cologne makes comeback

Burger King is rekindling its Flame.
The fast-food chain announced today that its broiled-meat scented body spray is “back by popular demand,” just in time for Valentine’s Day.
BK grabbed headlines in mid-December when it first introduced the $4 men’s fragrance.
The company billed the body spray as “the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat.”
Although a sales figure wasn’t yet available, Burger King claims the cologne sold out “like wildfire” three days after its debut, becoming a hot stocking stuffer.
“People simple couldn’t get enough of Flame - even paying more than $100 for it on eBay,” said Brian Gies, a BK marketing executive, in a statement.

but here!
First, I didn't believe this was real. Surely a hysterically funny faux product. And then, well, the NAME of the thing adds another layer of Hee, Hee to the whole thing. Doc, if you're reading this blog entry, I'm really glad that we don't have a Burger King anywhere nearby...;)
Oh, and having seen CryptLeak's choco-bacon (which is actually not a new thing down here in the pseudo-south), reminded me, immediately of something I'd seen recently on one of our morning news shows. It was in advance of Superbowl Sunday and, on the show, it was called the Ultimate Man Food (though this site doesn't call it that)... while looking, I also found ...this one...that kinda ups the ante, though it really didn't need upping...
Thanks for sharing the cologne, though. Outrageous!!
Thanks a lot, dude.
(Also, bacon goes GREAT with oatmeal...I'm just sayin'...)
